A new method is presented for assigning distributional curvature, in an invariant manner, to a spacetime of low differentiability, using the techniques of Colombeau's `new generalized functions'. The method is applied to show that the scalar curvature density of a cone is equivalent to a delta function. The same is true under small enough perturbations. |
